LEAF Certification Practice Test

What should drivers expect when using the e-Pedal feature on the 2022 Nissan LEAF?

1. Enhanced acceleration speed

2. Ability to come to a complete stop using the accelerator pedal

3. Reduced turning radius

4. Increased cabin noise

The correct answer is: Ability to come to a complete stop using the accelerator pedal

Using the e-Pedal feature in the 2022 Nissan LEAF allows drivers to control both acceleration and deceleration primarily with the accelerator pedal. This means that when the driver eases off the accelerator, the car will begin to slow down and can even come to a complete stop without the need to switch to the brake pedal. This feature enhances the driving experience by providing a seamless transition between accelerating and decelerating, making it particularly useful in stop-and-go traffic and for driving on hilly terrain. The design of the e-Pedal promotes a more efficient one-pedal driving style, which can also lead to energy savings, as regenerative braking is activated when the vehicle slows down. This regenerative aspect translates kinetic energy back into battery power, improving overall energy efficiency for the vehicle. Other options are not connected to the primary functions of the e-Pedal; for instance, while the feature helps with deceleration, it does not influence acceleration speed, turning radius, or cabin noise directly. Thus, the capability to come to a complete stop using just the accelerator pedal is the defining characteristic of the e-Pedal feature.
